WTERf-CLOSET HIGH-PRESSURE BALL-CGSB;

i To ell whom it may concern:

Be it known tha-tl, MAX HABIsRnrTINeER,

e citizen of the-United States, residing at 'Y lowing is a speciicetion. 1

My invention relates to improvements in high pressure ball cocks, which control 'the supply of water to the water tanks generally used on Water closets, end the object of 1ny invention is to formulate the valve in such a. way, es to have the working parts, 'which are moeil subject to weer, readily accessible, and the valve stem ezirrying the lrubber washer, which deteriorates .so readily, easily removable. r

The construction andmenner of operation of the valve are fullv described in this specivfication andare illustrated .in the accomvalve is open.

Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the valve, the inlet and the outlet pipes being broken awayA and the locking cap removed.

` Fig. 5 isa section through the center ofynl` the valve, teken on line 5-5 of Fig'. 6, and Fig. 6 is a plan view of lthe`ivelve.

The valve of my invention consists of the hollow valve body l, formed with a lower boss 4,.bored and th leaded to receivefthe 1 end of the inletpigpey 3, the upper ehd of bottol'n of thevwatertankl'.' f'

boss 8 is provided on theupper 'side of v which forms the valve seat 2, and the lower end, which is provided with a screw thread, is furnished with thefthreaded ttings' and4 6, whereby the valve becomes secured to the v the valve body in Ielinenu-mt with -th inletI pipe 3', the said bossbeing bored smooth, in

order' to' receive the-.valve stem 9.

The valve stem is i free to Amove up and down within the smooth here of the boss '8,

and carries 'e cup leather 12, which prevents the water from' leaking." l

Specification of `ll'ietters Patent .ppnmn med .my 1, 191e. serial no. seinem.

` The valvestein is provided et .its bottone with a cavity l0 within 'which erubber washer 1l is fitted, end at the top fun nished with a recess l5, withinwluch e il shaped connecting rod 16 is made to lit with its middle portion, while the free ends l?" .of y said rod, engage the ends" 'Titi ci! :biun

cated lever 19, which. is .termed inlove halves and is pivoted by 4ineens ofthe piveting screws 2O to 'the bosses ill provided upon the valve body l, a A cap 25 formed with the recesses placed over the top ofthe velve stein 9, the said recesses :receiving the middle perf tion of lthe .5J-shaped connecting rod, retain ing it in place.

A 4ioat erm le carrying et one end a doet 13, issecured et the other end to the outer arm of the lever 19, by Ineens of the thumb screw E23. i

The swinging; motion of the float arm 14 together with the lever 19 around the pivoting screws 20, due to the rise end tell of the water level within the weter tai i 'E' ie transmitted to the valve stein by me et the lli-shaped connectie,ell rod, 'the rising; et the float erin 14: causing the lowering of the valve stein. upon the valve seet while the lowering of the Fleet arm causing the rising of the velve stein ofi the. seat, thus admitting Water into the interior of the valve body and discharging` it into the `vri-iter tank 'through the pipe 24e,

When Vit is vdesired to remove the valve stem 9, in" order to renew the rubber washer 1l, the locking cap 25 is rst'lift'ed ed the top of the valve stem and the middle por-- tion of the U-'shaped connectie red loire eel withdrawn from the recess o and is swung around the pivoting points l? 'to the position shown in Fig. 4:.

AThe valve stern 9 is then lited out, 4and afterthoworn rubber washer have beenfvrej placed, it' is returned inte place end conL necting rod is again brought :inv engegen'ient`y with therecess v15 and locked in ulace 4byv placing the .locking cap beek uponthe top. ,y -of the valve stein.

The connection of the middle portion of the U-shaped connecting rod 16 with the stenti-9 is mede Without the use of screwV threads, which becoming' corroded ere liable iet to stick end become broken, when en etw tempt is made to remove them.'

Having thus described `ni'y"invention, what I claim new :md desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

l. In e bali cock, n easing, a valve in the easing; having e Stein projecting from the easing, a, float level' pivot/ed to the easing, and e U shaped member pivoted at the free end to Seid oztt lever and connecting removably with its intermediate portion, the said l'nojeeting stem; the seid removable Connection comprising e Slot out iii the stem extending from the side thereof und tern1inet-ing et the center, the wall of the slot engagging-the said intern'iediate portion et the top and bottom, und e cap `lSlilnbly'fitting` the outer end oi the stem and' having e slot engaging the seid intermediate portion at the sides.

2. in u ball cock, a easing, e vulve inthe easing having a stem projecting from the casing, e floetlever pivoted to the casing,

and e U shaped meniber pivoted at the free. end to said float lever and removably con-` neeting at its intermediate portion'with the said projecting stem; the seidremovable connection comprising e slot out in the stem extending from the `side thereof to, the center, the wel] of the slot engaging the seid intermediate portion et the top and bottom, and reinovableloeking means adapted t0 engage the said intermediate portion at the Side retaining it in position et the center of the stem.
